We will pray through four main themes/sections.

Adoration and Praise: God tells us to enter His courts

with praise. Thus, during this first theme, our focus is

praise and adoration. Rather than rushing right into

our requests, we want to take time to worship God and

reflect on the beauty of His character as revealed in

His Word. Inspiration tells us that as we learn to praise

God more, we will be given more blessings for which to

praise Him.

Confession: Confession is a very important aspect of

an effective prayer life. It also helps keep the channels

open between us and God (Isa. 59:1, 2; 1 John 1:9). Of

course, many sins are of a private nature and should be

confessed silently between you and God. (A time for

silent confession is encouraged.) For those faults that

are confessed publicly (Jas. 5:16), keep in mind that

we don’t want to confess something that would cause

another to stumble (for example, specific lustful acts

or thoughts, sexual sins, etc.). In Dan. 9:4-16, we see

Daniel’s example of corporate confession on behalf of

God’s people. This is the type of confession that we’d

like to focus on during this prayer time. However, the

most important thing is to confess, silently or publicly,

as the Holy Spirit convicts. (For more inspiration on

confession, see page 29.)

Supplication: Here we take God at His Word and give

Him our needs, both physical and spiritual. He tells us

to ask, seek, and knock (Matt. 7:7), and He tells us that

we do not have because we do not ask (Jas. 4:2). So let’s

take Him at His Word and ask! We aren’t to ask only

for ourselves either. We are to ask that we may bless

others. God tells us to ask large things of Him! Our

greatest need is that of the Holy Spirit, so let this be the

major focus of our supplication.

We don’t take prayer requests before prayer, but we

encourage you to give them to God during our time of

supplication, and we will support you in your request.

Thanksgiving: We end with thanksgiving, praising

Him for what He’s done and looking forward in faith

to what He will do. “Now to Him who is able to do

exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,

according to the power that works in us” (Eph. 3:20).
